Chapter 16 (Admitting)

Freedom9217: Sorry I haven't been updating for so long. I've been quite lazy these days. Never really got the chance to write or maybe I don't want to. Anyways, another chapter is up, hope you guys enjoy it.

Shinn stood silently in his room; his hand holding a light blue colour telephone. He breathes heavily and quickly, a tiny drop of sweat came down from his face. His hand slightly shakes from the nervousness.

"Are you going to call or not?" Mayu said from behind him.

"Don't rush me." Shinn replied.

"Hurry up already, it's been five minutes. Are you gonna call Stellar or what?" Mayu said.

"I will, just don't rush me." Shinn answered.

"My God, are you really that shy?" Mayu asked.

"Yeah, you got a problem with me?" Shinn snarled.

"Never mind, just hurry up."

"Fine." Shinn raised his hand and slowly dialed Stellar's number into the phone. The phone slowly repeated the number and Shinn heard the phone being picked up.

"Hello." Stellar's sweet and soft voice came through the phone.

"Umm, hi." Shinn answered.

"Oh, hi Shinn. What's up?" Stellar asked.

"Umm, I was just wondering … if you would like to take a walk with me around the park." Shinn asked.

"Sure, I'd love to." Stellar answered.

"Alright, I'll pick you up around 12." Shinn said.

Park

The weather seemed so clear. Light blue sky, white cloud and not a bit of coldness. Stellar and Shinn walked around. Not much talking goes on since both of them have their own thoughts. Eventually they walked out of the park into an open space. Shinn lead Stellar through the high grass, back to a wide stream. They laid in the high grass, listening to the water rush by and the birds conversing. With the high grass blocking their view of anything else it seemed like the world consisted of only the blue sky and each other. Carefully, Shinn inched his hand towards Stellar's, grasping it gently, unaware of his mad blushing. Stellar did not take her gaze off the sky above; she just squeezed Shinn's hand in response.

Tired of the quietness, Shinn decided to start a conversation, but has no idea where to begin. He has promised himself and his sister that he would admit to Stellar about his feelings. But now it seemed harder than he thought it would be.

"The weather is really nice." Shinn started.

"Yeah, it's such a nice day. Hard to believe it's almost winter." Stellar answered.

"Umm Stellar?" Shinn said.

"Yes, Shinn." Stellar replied.

"I … umm just want you to know that I …" Shinn paused, unable to go on.

"Shinn, what are you trying to say?" Stellar asked, catching Shinn off guard.

"Umm I just wanted to thank you for looking after Mayu." Shinn gave a lie.

"Oh." Stellar said, seems a bit disappointed.

"Mayu told me all about what you and her use to do when you were little. She told me in a super funny way. She also said you and her always fight." Stellar told Shinn.

"Yeah, we always argue." Shinn replied.

Stellar laughed while turning to face Shinn. Suddenly, she felt being paralyzed. Somehow, she moved forward and kissed Shinn. Everything seem stopped at the moment, neither of them felt anything other than each other. When they finally broke free, they smiled at each other. "I love you." Shinn admitted.

"I love you too." Stellar replied. Then they kissed once again.

Room 6 (Rey and Heine's room)

Rey sits on the table studying for the science test; Heine went out so Rey is as bored as ever. He planned to study then go find Cagalli to have lunch. Suddenly, the door slide open and two girls emerged from the doorway.

"Who are you people?" Rey asked.

"I'm Flay, She's Mia." Flay answered.

"Okay, first of all, haven't you ever heard of knocking? Second, this is a boy's room."

"Is your own fault for not locking the door?" Mia said.

"What do you people want?"

"Not much, we just want to help you."

"How?"

"We know you have your eye on Cagalli Yula Athha. We can help you get her." Flay said.

Rey bend his eyebrows, the statement Flay made intrigued him. He thought for a minute then nodded his head. "Go on."

"We just want you to get Athha."

"Why help me?"

"Let's just say we got a bit of problem with Athha. So we helping you also mean your helping us." Flay answered.

"But how can I get Cagalli to like me. I thought she likes Athrun." Rey said.

"Who cares who she likes, as long as you like her you have to do whatever it takes to get her."

"But if she doesn't like me, it'll seem like I'm forcing her."

"Who cares, as long as she's yours."

Rey thought for a moment, "No, I wouldn't force anyone. I won't work with you lunatics. Go get someone else to work with you."

"Suit yourself then." Flay said and walked out of the room with Mia.

At a restaurant

Heine is seeing Meyrin again after feeling attracted to her at the beach. Meyrin feels kind of weird being with such a popular guy. She has no idea how such a popular guy could be interested in her. She kept her head down and her hands together on her lap. Her cheeks red and she kept on biting her lower lip.

"So, what have you been up to lately?" Heine asked.

"Um, nothing really. I'm just trying to get my grades up more." Meyrin replied.

"So you've been studying a lot?" Heine asked.

"Yeah, of course you wouldn't know about that since you're so smart." Meyrin's words slipped out.

A giant sweatdrop formed on Heine's head. "How'd this come up?" He asked himself. Oh well. Desperately intend on lighten the mood, he immediately change the subject.

"So have you ever had a boyfriend before?" He asked.

"Yeah, I've had a few, but none of it worked out." Meyrin answered.

"So you don't have one now, right?" Heine asked urgently.

"Yeah, you could say that."

Unaware to the both of them, a sky blue-haired boy and a lime green hair boy entered the restaurant. They walked to a nearby table and spotted neither Heine nor Meyrin. The sky blue-hair boy chose to sit at a table near Heine and Meyrin. They got their orders and started talking. The lime green-hair guy glanced around the restaurant and suddenly his vision landed on Meyrin and Heine. He nervously looked at his friend who's not paying any attention to his strange behaviour. A tiny drop of sweat came down from his face and he called out to his friend.

"Auel … do you realize that …" Sting paused, unable to continue. He remember all the times when Auel told him about how much he likes Meyrin and wouldn't be able to bare to see her with another guy.

"What is it?" Auel asked the nervous teen.

"Oh it's nothing." Sting answered nervously.

"Okay then." Auel continues to wonder around the room, surprisingly, he didn't see Meyrin and Heine. And neither did the pair spot him.

As the time passes, Sting got more nervous every second. Sweats formed on his head and he coughed nervously. Suddenly, a loud laugh came from behind them. Sting could clearly see who it was. Meyrin was laughing uncontrollable because of Heine's jokes at the table. Her hand covering her mouth and Heine just watched her. As soon as the laugh came out. Auel's face turned incredibly strange. His eyeball moved a little then he turned around. And saw an incredibly bad sight. Also, Meyrin had seen him, she immediately stopped laughing and her eyes widens in shock. Heine noticed her expression and turned around to see Auel's shocking face.

Heine's eyebrows bend slightly at the sight and went over to Auel and Sting's table.

"Hey Auel, Sting." Heine greeted.

That snapped Auel back to reality. "Oh, hi." Auel said annoyed.

"Is anything okay?" Heine asked. Sensing Auel's bad attitude.

"Yeah everything's fine. You can go back to your table now." Auel said rudely.

"Auel!" Sting said warningly.

"Alright, see you later." Heine said while going back to the table.

Meyrin's eye was still on Auel. Her face still shocking, she watched as Auel pulled Sting away and left the restaurant.

I didn't write too much this time. I guess I'm just too lazy. Anyways, hope you enjoyed this chapter, don't forget to review.
